The Russian justice ministry has labelled two prominent journalists - BBC Russian correspondent Ilya Barabanov and science reporter Asya Kazantseva - as "foreign agents".
Barabanov has written extensively about Russia's war in Ukraine and the Wagner mercenary group. The BBC condemned the ministry's move against him.
"The BBC strongly rejects the decision," a BBC statement said.
The "foreign agent" label has very negative connotations in Russia.
